Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview

The Oilers have won their last two consecutive games and are 3-2 in their previous five. In their recent success, they defeated the Dallas Stars in a 5-4 outing. This also marked their second win in this five-game stretch where they won by one goal.

Edmonton jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first period, but steadily allowed the Stars to stay within reach. Zach Hyman stood out with his two goals and an assist, but was complemented by Connor McDavid who had a goal and an assist as well.

Dallas was consistently able to fire off about the same amount of shots as the Oilers, especially making two out of three power play goals. However, the Oilers were more aggressive with 22 hits and controlled the pace.

The Oilers are making 3.25 goals and are firing off 32.0 shots a game. Their defense allows 2.94 goals and 27.4 shots per game. This ratio is slightly positive, but is more appealing than what the Sabres have been producing.

Buffalo Sabres Betting Preview

The Sabres have lost their last six games and have allowed four or more goals in each battle. Their recent loss was a 4-0 shutout against the Florida Panthers. They have allowed 4.83 goals and have scored 2.33 goals in this stretch.

This game did not seem out of reach until later in the second period, where the Panthers had a 3-0 lead heading into the fourth. Tage Thompson is their leading offensive player with 54 points and 31 goals, but could not produce effective momentum for the Sabres.

The Panthers were aggressive with 36 shot attempts, while the Sabres were held to 21. Florida also had the upper hand with 29 hits as opposed to Buffalo’s 19. This was a clear beatdown that Buffalo was not prepared for.

The Sabres are getting 3.13 goals and are taking 27.8 shots a game. On defense, they are allowing 3.50 goals and 29.0 shots per battle. This spread is just a glimpse of what their season has looked like, let alone their recent losing skid.
